Mu Yao stumbled in, seemingly still holding a wine jar. "I'm not drunk yet! Drink up! Anyone who doesn't is a coward..."
As he spoke, he suddenly walked over to her, lifted Nanzhi's veil, and shoved the wine jar into her hands.
Nanzhi held the wine jar, looking blankly at the tall, burly man in front of her.
Mu Yao, clad in a red robe, exuded youthful vibrancy. He possessed broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a tall stature, but his face...
Seeing that a third of his face was covered by a thick beard, Nanzhi finally understood why his looks were only rated three stars.
Although I don't see his whole face, his sharp, sword-like eyebrows and deep, hawk-like black eyes are enough to show the demeanor of an ever-victorious general.
In the original story, the original owner was holding a wine jar, but Mu Yao, who was drunk, kept urging her to drink. She was so frightened that she kept shaking her head, which made Mu Yao think she was a coward. He then snatched the wine jar away and lay down on the wedding bed to sleep.
The original owner was too afraid to go to bed and spent the whole night sitting in a chair.
She failed to consummate the marriage, and later, when she saw Mu Yao, she was trembling with fear, and the marriage was delayed for a long time, which angered Old Madam Mu and caused her to suffer repeated entrapments from Second Madam Mu.
Although Nanzhi doesn't necessarily need to consummate the marriage right now, she absolutely cannot follow the same path as the original owner.
She glanced at the wine jar in her hand, hesitated for a moment, then picked it up and took a small sip.
Soon, the spicy alcohol irritated her, and she coughed, her eyes turning red.
As she coughed with her head down, a hint of surprise flashed in Mu Yao's hazy, drunken eyes.
As far as he knew, his new wife was a timid mute, but now she had quite a bit of poise.
Even so, he wasn't interested in her.
A man like him, who always has his head on the line, has no intention of getting married or harming others.
If it weren't for Old Madam Mu secretly arranging the engagement for him, matching their birth dates while he was still away, and keeping it a secret until the wedding was approaching, he would never have agreed to the marriage.
It's too late to back out of the engagement now.
Fine, when he goes to the battlefield, he'll give her a divorce agreement and some money, and let her go.
He drunkenly collapsed onto the bed next to him and soon began snoring.
Mu Yao was tall and large, almost taking up the entire wedding bed.
His new wife must be feeling quite lost now.
Sure enough, he sensed that the girl had been looking at him for a while before getting up and leaving.
Just as Mu Yao thought she would go to sleep on the side, the sound of light footsteps came back.
He closed his eyes and felt a warm towel fall on his face and hands as the other person gently wiped away the thin layer of sweat and wine stains.
Mu Yao frowned slightly in surprise.
Then, those small hands actually started to untie his belt.
Who would have thought that someone who looks so well-behaved would be so bold!
Just as she was about to undo his belt, he suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her.
What are you going to do?
The girl was startled by him, but even though she was pale, she did not run away.
Mu Yao watched as she gestured with her hands several times, seemingly trying to say something.
This went on for several times, and Mu Yao still couldn't understand it.
Seeing that Mu Yao was losing patience and about to get angry, the girl was extremely anxious. Then, as if she had thought of something, she grabbed his hand and pulled it to her side.
Mu Yao subconsciously tried to pull his hand back, but then he saw her stretch out a slender little hand and write in his palm.
Mu Yao realized that she wanted to tell him through writing, so he watched quietly.
The girl didn't seem to be very literate; her handwriting was somewhat stiff.
I just wanted to help Jiang Jun take off her coat so she could rest properly.
She really can't read.
Bang, Jiang, Jun, Tuo, and Xi are all misspelled.
This little mute is actually quite interesting.
Could you ask her to help him take off his clothes?
Mu Yao wasn't used to it at all. He took off his outer garment and warned her, "Sleep by yourself and don't disturb me."
After saying that, he lay down and went to sleep.
Mu Yao thought that Nan Zhi would leave on her own after being warned.
Unexpectedly, after covering him with the blanket, she went to the dressing table, took off her hair ornaments and wedding dress, and instead of leaving, she turned back.
Mu Yao squinted and saw her carefully climb onto the bed, shrinking into the narrow space beside it. She reached out her small hand and gently pulled the blanket towards her.
She didn't cover him completely, only vaguely covering half of his body, so he didn't pull it over any further.
She curled up beside him, afraid of disturbing him, and didn't dare to move at all. She seemed to have gotten used to this, and after a while, Mu Yao heard her breathing evenly.
After confirming that she was asleep, Mu Yao opened his eyes, and there was no sign of drunkenness in them.
He turned over and, using the moonlight outside, looked at Nanzhi beside him.
Her face was small and thin, as if she were just skin and bones, as if she had never been full.
However, she has long eyelashes, fair skin, and red lips that remain glossy and moisturized even after wiping off her lip rouge.
Despite being so thin and frail, her family was truly willing to marry her off to them.
Given his status, she was destined to suffer if she married him.
He doesn't have time to protect her.
Thinking this, Mu Yao slowly fell asleep as the effects of the alcohol took hold.
He turned over, leaving some space at the edge of the bed.
In the middle of the night, he vaguely felt Nanzhi leaning closer, but she didn't take advantage of him.
They're quite well-behaved.
This was Mu Yao's only goodwill towards her.
[Ding, Mu Yao's favorability has increased by 1%.]
When Nan Zhi woke up the next morning and saw the favorability rating, Mu Yao had already gotten up.
She touched the bed, which was already cold, and got out of bed.
Hearing her get up, Jingmo immediately came in.
When he saw the still-clean white wedding veil in the center of the bed, Jingmo's brows furrowed tightly.
"You and the general didn't consummate your marriage?"
She had been listening outside all night and already knew they hadn't consummated their marriage, but she still wanted to ask about it.
On the surface, Jingmo is Madam Mu's person, but in reality, she is the Second Madam's person.
She deliberately took a clean handkerchief to Madam Mu to complain, making Madam Mu mistakenly believe that she was unwilling to consummate the marriage, and punished her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall all night, which directly caused her to fall ill and take a full seven days to recover.
"Madam, why are you so disobedient? Is it because you don't want to? Come, come with me to see the old lady."
Right now, Jingmo was also indignant. She criticized Nanzhi a few times, then came up and took her hand, wanting to go to the main hall to find Madam Mu.
The original owner couldn't speak or explain, so silence allowed her to be slandered at will.
Nanzhi followed her outside. In the original story, they would encounter Mu Yao on the way.
The original owner was timid and dared not ask him for help.
Nanzhi kept an eye on Mu Yao, who was exercising outside after getting up.
As she approached the main hall, she indeed saw Mu Yao practicing with a gun in the courtyard.
She broke free from Jingmo's hand, lifted the hem of her skirt, and ran towards him.
As someone approached, Mu Yao instinctively raised his silver spear and thrust it forward.
